Model: Archer AX55  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.6 Build 20231130 rel.36135(4555)

Hi, I recently bought a used Archer AX55 v1.0 router.


The router works great, except for one thing, a little strange: although the internet is available and everything works fine, the router "says" it is not connected to the internet.
I also had to do the firmware update manually (through the connection provided by it...), because it did not work automatically.


I should point out that the router is not connected directly to a modem, but receives the signal (via WAN port) from another router, which in turn is connected to the ISP. I have no way to access the management of the main router, but it also works correctly.


Any ideas?
Thanks and have a nice day.

Hi, minor issue but it should state the correct status, your network connection is same as most you`l have a fibre cable running from outside into a Optical Network Terminal (ONT) router inside your property that is connected via ethernet cable to WAN port on your Main router AX55 which directs and assigns ips/internet. In the tag at the top about your firmware it says "1.2.6 Build 20231130 rel.36135(4555)"  for V1 I assume you manually updated the firmware and it successfully went throught although their is a newer updated version "Archer AX55(EU)_V1_1.3.3 Build 20240628" provided your in EU.

  @Muffinman Thanks for the quick reply.
Yes, the main router is connected in copper, but the substance does not change.
I live in EU, but I can't find the firmware 1.3.3 on the TPLink site (https://www.tp-link.com/it/support/download/archer-ax55/v1/#Firmware) and searching on the net I read that it is a pre-release (https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/706448).
Can I trust it?
Thanks
